The album consists of 21 tracks and is in collaboration with a fellow Canadian singer and music producer PARTYNEXTDOOR.
Drake released the album on Friday, and the hype around it seems to be paying off big time.
In the new album’s song titled “Gimme a Hug,” Drizzy hit back at the noise surrounding his rap feud with Lamar and did not hold back.
“They be dropping s*** but we dropping harder s*** / F*** a rap beef, I’m tryna get the party lit / Tryna get the party lit for the b****es,” Drake raps in the second verse.
It looks pretty clear that it was in response to his ongoing beef with Lamar, who many say “finished” him with the performance of “Not Like Us” at the Super Bowl on Sunday.
“Using you for promotion, truer words had never been spoken,” Drake adds in another line, likely referring to his lawsuit against his music label, Universal Music Group, to which Lamar is also signed – over its release of “Not Like Us.”
“Funny how it’s only b**** n****s that are waiting on the boy’s obituary / ‘Cause if I die, it’s these n****s that become the sole beneficiary,” he further states.
In the lawsuit, the Canadian rapper alleges that UMG were aware the allegations of pedophilia placed into the song were false yet “chose to be selfish over the safety and well-being of its artists.”
In another part of the song, Drizzy seemingly takes a jab at rapper and presenter Joe Budden.
“Melyssa Ford, you a legend from The 6 hate to see you with a dick sucker,” he sings about Budden’s podcast co-host.
Drake trolled Budden in the early days of the week from an undercover account of his, sharing a video of Budden walking and smoking alongside the caption: “$$$HITTING MEEEEEE.”
The Grammy-winning rapper is currently undertaking a tour in Australia.
He recently reversed the lyrics to his 2021 song “Knife Talk”, likely responding to his feuds on his Anita Max Win tour.
To Drizzy’s fans, the album means a great deal, and the time of its release is ‘perfect’ in hitting back at Lamar and the critics of their favorite rapper.
